I know everyone's clamoring over the new Sanrio version, but I thought I would just share my sighting last night. I was in MOA (Mall of Asia, one of the biggest malls in the world) here in the Philippines and went to Toy Kingdom. I was searching for a gift and then I found this:
I was in awe. I never thought I'd see them in stores again! It was priced at Php 3999, around 9000 Yen or $80. Unfortunately, my love for Tamagotchis has died down over the years for me to buy one, but it was still amazing to see them here. People were pointing at it and some seemed interested though I didn't stay long enough to see if anyone bought it. I was also in a hurry so I didn't take much pictures, and those I took were of bad quality too.
Anyway, let the Sanrio version hype train continue!

Hi! Welcome to TamaaTalk! Hope you stick around the forums!
I have a P's and a 4U. If you're looking for more built-in content, go for the P's. As you said, the 4U/4U+ relies heavily on the app and touchspots for content, though I enjoy the 4U even without them because I love its simplicity. The P's isn't hard to take care of. It's worth taking note that you can send your Tamagotchi to daycare and school/work so you can leave them without having to worry. Even without these features, I can say they're pretty easy to take care of. Though the in-game items are expensive, you can get a flyer once in a while that doubles the payout of the games so money hoarding isn't as difficult as past models.
I'd say go for the P's. I personally like the 4U more but that's just me and judging by your post, you seem to worry about content. P's has got that covered. Hope I helped!

Just a question: How are we supposed to get pure characters in other generations? I mean, we're gonna get a pure character on our first generation, mixed characters after that. How are we gonna get pure characters after that if everything will be mixed? I love mixed characters but I love me some original Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi.

Back from the Tamagotchi slumber! This got my Tamagotchi spirit back on. So many hopes for this release. I think just with the mixing feature alone, I can tell this is gonna be an exciting Tamagotchi. Sadly, I have to wait until August to get one. The new characters are awesome looking too! Of course, the pastel colored shells are to die for. Here's to hoping for removable face plates.
Also, Is Guriritchi now a girl? Her name's now in pink like other female Tamagotchis. Wow. Sex change in Tamagotchi. 2016. What a year to live in.

Will be turning 17 in a few months (Ew, I'm old.) and I still play with my Tamagotchis, Currently, I'm not running any not because of my age, but because I haven't gotten myself new batteries and my summer break just started. Will be making sure to run one (or two, or seven.) some time soon!

It's completely random. It's a 50-50 case per egg and you're just lucky (or cursed, depending on how you look at it.) to have gotten six females in a row. The longest chain I've gotten was four females on my P's.

Just as I expected, everyone went for the real thing. The essence of tamagotchis is that the device is their home. Having them on a phone basically throws away the tiny plot the toy had left. Having to press buttons and hold the toy on your palms is a totally different feel than having it on a phone.

It depends on your taste. If you want a simpler tamagotchi, go with the +Color or the iD. If you want something more complex, go for the iDL or the P's. If you want something in between-ish and highly customizable, go for the 4U/4U+.
The +Color and iD are basic ones, the +Color being more basic. The iD has downloads, but is limited compared to the succeeding entries. I suggest you base your choice on the characters as they don't differ much. They're cute and simple but nothing much to do once you get things set.
The iDL and the P's are more complex than the two mentioned earlier. Even without downloads, these two have jam-packed features and have many new characters. As said, downloadables are available for the iDL and the P's via an Infrared device. The P's has a pierce feature that adds more to the built-in content and the downloadable content. It can contain characters or character transformations. If you want something that'll keep you busy for a while, and if you want something that can be kept fresh (through downloadables) then go for either of the two. Like earlier, base your opinion on the characters, but keep in mind the pierce feature the P's has.
The 4U/4U+ is a bit different. It's pretty basic, almost like the +Color, without downloads. But, with downloads (through a compatible NFC device) it can go on par with the P's and the iDL as it is the first to feature downloadable characters (though the P's has fan-made downloadable characters). You can customize it highly, both physical because of the plates, and virtually because of the downloads. You can adjust how complex or basic you want it to be by regulating the downloads. Even without downloads, it's cute and fun.
I, personally, prefer the 4U. I like how simple and customizable it is. The characters and their transformations are what I like the most. Anyway, hope this helped you decide on your choice!

Can't wait for the release. The Pokemon subreddit is going crazy with a whole lot of speculations. Y'all should check it out and be entertained for hours lol. Hopefully lots of Pokemon with different typing combinations.

If you want someone that isn't that girly, I'd recommend the 4U, 4U+, and the +Color, but you also wanted something that's customizable, so that lessens the choices to the 4U and 4U+. The shell designs shouldn't really bother you though. I'm a 16 year old guy and I have no problems bringing my iDL in public lol. Only get the 4U or 4U+ if you have a compatible NFC device. Other than that, you can get the P's or an iDL. Also, the easiest to decipher is the P's because of the English Patch Mr.Blinky made. Without English patches, they're all pretty much the same. AS long as you know the basics of Tamagotchis or willing to dedicate a few minutes to learn what each option is, then it shouldn't be a problem. I don't think you should spend that much on a Tamagotchi though. $100 is way off the charts for me. (I got my iDL for $0.50)

I rarely run my tamagotchis by ones, so most of the time I name them (and play with them) by pairs. Like Winter and Spring, Summer and Autumn. It's almost manadatory for me to run more than one tamagotchi at time and I don't know why.

I want one so bad. It's so simple and cute, and I'm a sucker for that. School's been such a drag lately, I can't run any tamagotchi cause I'm sure it'll die from lack of attention. If I just had one, I'd be contented for a whole school year. The characters are awesome, plus the shell designs are the cutest. I just want one so bad and I feel bad for missing out a good deal that I saw a few months back. Hope you have fun though! (If you don't, you can always send it to me )

Aikatsu, Ciao, Detective Conan, Disney, and Sanrio are some of the brands that have collaborated with the Tamagotchi franchise. Which one do you want, even if it's far-fetched, to collaborate with the franchise next?
Personally, I want Tamagotchi to have a collab with Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons. A Tamagotchi centered around raising crops, fishing, bug catching, and more seems fun. Raising a mini farm would be awesome. It'll add gameplay to the device. It'll also be another source of income. It'll be great to see some Harvest Sprites on the same screen as a tamagotchi. Most of us enjoys the tree/garden feature some Tamagotchis have. Why not make more of it, right?
Of course, like most people here, I think one of the more obvious dream collab is a Pokemon collaboration. Not much explaining to do. Cosplay Pikachu marrying Mametchi? YES.

The Keitai is similar to the version 3 and the Entama is similar to the version 4. There are a bit of tweaks here and there but they're pretty much the same. If you prefer the version 3, then go for the first Hanerutchi. If you like the version 4 better, then get the second Hanerutchi.

As Hapihapitchi said, you can make Neeneetchi lose weight by playing games, including the dance game in the park.
From 7AM - 10AM, a random merchant will appear in the park. It can be either one who's selling clothes, one who's selling accessories, or one who's selling items. You can only buy one item a day. Make sure you reach them on time! Or, you can just adjust the time and date of your 4U so you can buy lots of items in a short amount of time. Tedious process, but worth it I guess.
Hope this helps!

I guess what'd be most useful is the releases. The versions, their release dates, and their featured features (lol) are what I would read. The devices themselves, I think, should be more focused on rather than the characters, though I guess the series mascots would be fine if they were to be included.
